July unemployment data from the Hawaii State Department of Labor & Industrial Relations revealed a small uptick in statewide seasonally adjusted unemployment for the month of July, compared to June. While June's unemployment rate was 3.4 percent, July rose to 3.6 percent. This data seems to be a reflection of a larger trend, with U.S. unemployment rising from 4.9 percent in June to 5.3 percent in July. The good news is that Maui is bucking the trend, which reflects our stable economy for those interested in moving to Maui and buying real estate.
